Is Jimmy Page Satanic?

[alucard0941]

I have been wondering and have been given many opinions of wheater Jimmy Page is actually satanic of not. If anyone has any clues, question, or comments post

Here is a good site to check it out, it is Srairway to Heaven (http://www2.memlane.com/jmilner/stairwaybackwards.htm)

[Autark]

You CAN hear Satanic messages if you turn Stairway to Heaven backwards, but who cares, really...

[moody_fa_loonie]

RRRRrrrriiigghhht

[Dr_simon]

Dude, some people can hear satanic messages when recordings of people farting are played backwards !

Remember the witch hunts of yester year ?

[PonyOne]

he probably is... who cares?

[TheDirt]

Who would've thought that with the vast amount of recorded phrases that have been sung in history, that a few of them might say one or two words that resemble 'Satan' when played backwards? If playing it backwards said, "I worship Satan. Go to school and shoot everyone," maybe I'd believe it... but cmon, it says "oomph nguk lab yuum stfed satan lum squeek yalf"... There's only one word that's coherent in the whole sentence. You have to want a satanic message to be there to take it that way. Besides, if I sang something and it said Satan when played backwards, would that make me a Satanist?

lmao @ that. Very true

[the fool]

nah, he's not a satanist. he's just an amazing guitarist.

[Slow Diver]

But if he is playing the blues (nicely) you would say that he has sold his soul to the devil, right?
so he must be involved

Why would someone ever sing the words "Flay keeuqs mul natas defts muuy bal kugn hpmoo" in a song?









OoooooooOOoOOOOoooo you were being funny. I feel stupid.









Hahahahahahahaha! I get it!



I'm going to start putting this on every message I post in the next few days: please join the email group that I have started (see Open discussion), even if you don't have your own songs. We need a few more people.

[iiholly]

Oh yeah Jimmy Page is satanic, and so is Harry Potter. QUICK THROW AWAY all your Led Zepplin cd's and harry potter books or you're going to hell... :rolleyes:

[Seve420]

From an article I came across.

Question
how did the rumors get started concerning the song Stairway to heaven containing satanic messages? I've listened to this album numerous times through and have never been able to find any lyrics that even sounds remotely satanic. I am sure this is just a rumor, but I was wondering as to how it may have got started. Thanks for any info you may share.

All the best
David

Answer
Hey David!

First off, I must say that there is absolutely no backwards masking or satanic messages in Led Zeppelin music. I've tried to find it, I've heard radio DJ's try to find it, and lots of other people and no one can find anything conclusive. The most famous rumor is, if you play Stairway To Heaven backwards, you can hear the words "here's to my sweet Satan." I've heard that and it doesn't sound like that at all, unless you really concentrate so you can "fool" your own mind into thinking it does. Both PAGE and PLANT have both been quoted as saying they were never so immature as to do that and "Why?" they would say; "Where would we have found the time to do something so stupid anyway?"

The rumors became well known as the 70's turned into the 80's and religious folk, mostly Baptist preachers who hated rock and roll of any kind, would search out the "heavy" bands look for these so-called satanic messages.

So, in April 1982 a committee of the California State assembly convened to listen to Zeppelin irate Baptist preachers were all there to listen to, not only Led Zeppelin, but other so-called "heavy metal" & "satanic" bands. They played the record "Stairway to Heaven backwards, and claimed to here the words "here's to my sweet Satan." Like I've said, it's just not there unless you really push yourself to hear it. I mean c'mon. You can hear anything in any song if you try hard enough. Y'know?

This is all completely ludicrous of course.

Before that, the rumors were just simple "Zeppelin sold their soul to the Devil" rumors that started in the mid-seventies with the kids. Some fans truly believed that there was no way Zeppelins incredible success and rise to fame could have been done only by the 4 musicians themselves. They forget about the 5th member of Led Zeppelin..Peter Grant, their manager. He was as crucial as any band member in spreading the word about Zep and making deals and such.

Zeppelin were so big because they worked their asses off. They toured and toured, sometimes circling the world and playing three to six USA tours IN ONE YEAR alone! Not to mention their music was astounding and their live shows were the stuff of legend. Even Zeppelin on their worst nights were better than anyone else out there. And that's because they always gave 110%, no matter what. When they ran out of their own songs to play, they would perform Elvis and Beatles songs, James Brown, anything to keep the crowd on their feet. Sometimes the encores would go longer than the actual shows, as the crowd just would not let them leave. Many shows went over 4 hours with only 45 minutes worth of material!

Zeppelin never needed gimmicks.

[aiwass]

Who cares? There are lots of bands that I listen to who openly admit to being Satanic. Who cares if Zeppelin were just a wee bit naughty when Dimmu Borgir blatantly entail their wish to eradicate the entire Christian race? :D

[Josh Redstone]

Yeah, I find bands that have coincidential backwards words like 'Satan' in their songs are picked on more than bands that actually come out and say this stuff. Its silly.
Personally I don't really care what a song is about lyricly, I listen to the guitar before anything else. :)

[the fool]

Harry Potter is Satanic? NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I agree... you should go kill yourself. Not really...

[TheWizard]

I have definatly heard "Here's to my sweet satan" in stairway, I think it's pretty badass, it could really just be a freak coincidence

It is well known that Jimmy was very interested in magick and he even purchased the famous occultist Alester Crowly's house

I think his interest in that stuff was more for show than anything, I highly doubt he ever sacraficed anything or drank goats blood

my friend and I watched a Zepp bootleg for 77' last night and it was terrible, Jimmy was bone thin (heroin) and could barely play, It sounded like he was one fret off the entire time, it was just plain bad, but jone paul jones's keyboard solo's in "no quarter" were amazing, along with Bonham's drum solo

[Neil22]

heh. well no i dont think he is, though he was interested in crowly, n the occult, he did buy his house at a point. just cause you find things interesting dosnt make u a full believer, i think valued some of crowlys mind sets, and the spiritual side of the mind n nature, and black magic, sure could be interesting, like wizdary. even like in the lord of the rings, gandolph hehe, i like stuff like that, but i dont even consider satan. also it draws people more to it, like robert johnson.

MR. Crowley!!!!!!

\m/

[DreamRyche2112]

Yeah, i dont really make that out to be real wierd. Just look a the part where it says 6 6 6, yet in the real version, he never says 1 word 3 times or more.

[chris mood]

Appearantly after he bought Crowleys castle a lot of bad stuff started to happen....Plants daughter either died or was critically wounded, awhole list of other stuff ( i forget), and eventually the death of bonham.
Coincidence?

[b_hoves]

Saying that Page is satanic is laughable, this tread reminds me of ‘Little Nicky’, when they play Chicago backwards and it says something like ‘serve the dark lord’.

Robert's son, Karac, died of a stomach virus, Jimmy Page broke his finger, Robert and his family were in a serious car accident in Greece, and eventually Bohnam died

as legend has it, John Paul Jones never was involved in the Satanic stuff like the rest of the band, and thats why his life was fairly free of incident

[hairbndrckr]

Stairway to Heaven, Highway to Hell
You gotta go somewhere somtime

It's all a bunch of bullsh*t made up from Baptist preachers that are trying to fill their pockets with parishioners cash. I have never found anything about backwards masking on any of my vinyl. I think it's all a bunch of crap. If I was going to do subliminal messages in music, it sure as hell wouldn't be for satan. It would be for me....

yenom fo stol em dnes, yenom fo stol em dnes, seitterp ym llew netsil....

Now if you will excuse me, the new Brides of Destruction CD, which by the way I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ( 2 rock hands out of a maximum of 2 on the hairbndrckr scale.) has just told me to go sacrifice an infant to the dark overlord, so I must obey.... :)

See how laughable that is?

Just email me for an address if you follow my backwards subliminal message :D

[kingdavid]

My ears have no reverse gear,so there's no way in hell(pun intended) I'll hear Satanic messages in a song if I have to listen to a song bacwards to hear them.
But I am a bit religious,and if I knew for a fact that someone was satanic,I probably wouldn't listen to a song.
Like Dr. Simon said,people hear what they want to hear.

[Tank_Simmons]

You know if you play the soundtrack to The Reading Rainbow backwards it says....."Die flaming infidels...." or something like that....lol.

[basics]

man, buddy from slayer, what about him.

[hairbndrckr]

Hey you know if you play the song from "Barney" backwards is says something about killing your parents...

[Autark]

Play it backwards - hear why it's sung here, oppositioner!

Oh, here's the soundtrack, all arising!
They all sin and they are won
Shall I loathe you now, parishoner?
Oh hear Him christian within me?
Oh it stirs my skin: the river
Oh she snows without lovin' us
Oh liar, it will end before Him!
We're all outside an' I know I saw they shout:
"Hear the Lord! My God now will save me"

Ohh I will now sing world, 'cause I live with Satan
One wish today - world pray with three who will make it here late
Pray now an' you'll win - The 'Lord' turned me on but
Oh, I was the shaggy fool clothed in agony, lost at a height

Ohh!
There's no escapin' it!

All at war, here's t' my sweet Satan
No other made a path, for it makes me sad, whose power is Satan
He'll give those with him 666
And all the evil, it was there, they made our souls must have Satan

Whoah oh oh

With fire you all get loose, they're all for me!
All that soothes the water
Always will be as we know now
"I see runes" said he, "the world they offered me"
Who is the Lo-ord if we lose feather? Say you'll save me!

And no-one's gonna be the ruler
And no-one can do

Hunt next to th' sword, 'cause they see all from there
See here's the news, who walks with me?
Please! Perhaps no-one found me
Heavy, lift me out - make me leave someday
Say it with whose one line-up, they gotta leave for Satan

And no-one's gonna rule
And no-one can do

And he said lots, both have our laws: mass must (He is superb - master Satan
Over the ab he who should love me
Any man that serves my, my swan music
They worship with snow, I wish them over my master, Satan

Only hear word's sung, the oppositioner oooh
He who snow
They make his snow worthy
So look for us, now answer me!
There's one chance - take his snow

Hold thy head
Hear words sung! The oppositioner
Who owns this earth built below?
Oh sweet Israel





Play it backwards and you might hear something like this... This isn't the REAL Satanism, anyway... As I said - who cares...

[PonyOne]

Ironically enough, I read something in a Gaming Magazine at a friend's house the other day (think it was Electronic Gaming Monthly) that if you beat the inordinately violent, sadistic game Manhunt for PS2 in the lowest level ("Fetish") that you will get a message, or hear some garbled audio, etc. Played in reverse, it gives a brief monologue on people leaving their kids at home all day and subjecting them to horrible video games, then gives you an invinciblity cheat. Pretty sweet, huh?

f you don't know about the game, click here http://www.rockstargames.com/manhunt/ it's pretty cool, if you arent' squeamish (and who on this board is?) you should rent it if you haven't already.

[hairbndrckr]

oooh man!!! I gotta go and buy that one now...

[kingdavid]

Inform me here;how do you play a song backwards,whether on a cassette,cd player,pc,whatever?
Some reversal software or something?

If your using a PC, a lot of sound editing programs like Goldwave, Cool Edit or even the sound recorder that comes with windows can play stuff backwards.
As for CDs and Tapes, I don't think you can. That stuff would have to be uploaded to your computer, then reversed in a program.

[The Ace]

I think most people did it with record players, by pulling on the records a certain way.


Welll...... I don't really know, not my generation. Most people I know don't even know wat a record is.

[spanky10940]

I read this post backwards and it has SATAN all over it... run everyone.. he's takin over!!!!!

[alucard0941]

GEEZZ GUYS!!! It was only a question, no need to make fun of the thread.
:rolleyes:

[basics]

Yea we're all on the highway to hell.
